Dedicated to all girls who found themselves in books.
All sorcerers are evil—Elizabeth knew that almost from birth. Raised in one of the Great Libraries of Austermere, she grew up among magical instruments—enchanted grimoires that whisper on the shelves and rattle with iron chains. If you provoke them, they turn into maleficts of skin and ink.
But when the world is in danger, Elizabeth has nowhere to turn except the sworn enemy of sorcerer Nathaniel Thorne.
Now they are drawn into a multi-century conspiracy, and Elizabeth herself begins to doubt everything she was taught—because she has power she never even suspected, and a future she could never have imagined.
